at least one reporting user registered via web form: https://u.tamu.edu/DC‐access‐request
Having multiple reporting users per program is allowed. The user may be faculty/staff who can input,
review and approve the web forms, and will be responsible for the submission of the program
characteristics. Reporting cycle will commence once the user registration process is completed.
